@matrix Any chance you can prioritize https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost/issues/64 ? Currently people joining matrix rooms via XMPP apps don't get a good experience as they miss all offline messages. #xmpp #matrix #freesoftware #interoprability
I have created an xmpp public channel to work with people interested in this feature. Join and help out in the crowd funding campaign.
You can join via matrix as well https://matrix.to/#/#bifrost-mam:poddery.com #matrix #xmpp #FreeSoftware #bifrost-mam
OK we found people to work on this, they were part of #Outreachy project and worked with me on adding yarn plugin for apt in #debian. But no crowd funding platforms support payments to Nigeria. Would you know any #FreeSoftware organizations in Europe of US who can help with setting up a crowd funding campaign and then pay them directly?

Hey, I'm thinking of
https://sfconservancy.org/
@conservancy
Very different approach: https://opencollective.com/

@wendy @conservancy thanks we thought of SFC and planning to write to them. Do you know if open collective support payments to Nigeria?
@praveen
They work with a system called 'fiscal hosts', that means not one particular financial flow. It would be really interesting to ask!
@wendy @sonnie https://xmpp.org/2021/09/the-xsf-as-a-fiscal-host/ this looks exactly like what we were looking for.
@wendy @sonnie yay! XSF accepted our request to be a fiscal host! We can receive donations via https://opencollective.com/mam-plugin-for-xmppjs now! Thanks everyone for your ideas and suggestions. Now help us raise some funds to get this work done. #xmpp #matrix #interoperability #bifrost-bridge
@praveen @sonnie Will you be able to go through xsf? 🤞
Indeed fiscal hosting has a lot of potential and open collective works as an interlocutor!
